8) Retargeting Story Sequences → From View to Meeting

Tell a story, not a slogan. When retargeting delivers a narrative, clicks turn into conversations.

Updated over a month ago

Replace generic ads with a 3-part narrative that advances intent - so each impression builds context, not fatigue.

Who it’s for

  • Demand Gen & Performance Marketing teams

  • Product Marketing crafting narratives for paid/social

  • Sales teams working warm accounts from paid traffic

Why it matters

Sequential stories outperform one-off impressions. When prospects see a coherent arc - problem → approach/proof → offer - they remember more, click more, and arrive pre-sold. Retargeting becomes education that converts.

How it works (TOF → MOF → BOF)

TOF (Clip 1: Problem shift):

15–30s hook that reframes the pain (“The real blocker isn’t tools—it’s scattered journeys”). Caption with the key line and soft CTA (“See the 2-min breakdown”). Build an audience for viewers.

MOF (Clip 2: Framework + proof → on-site page):

20–45s explainer: show the framework in 3 beats and one metric on screen. Click-through goes to a matched on-site page (Replay with chapters, transcript, and CTAs). Pixel all visitors for BOF.

BOF (Clip 3: Offer + CTA):

15–30s invitation with a single outcome (“Cut setup from weeks to days—see it on your data”). Clear CTA: “Book a 15-min fit check.” Use calendar deep-links and account UTM tags.


KPIs: Sequence completion rate · CTR per step · Meetings booked · Cost per meeting · View-through conversions

Automation:

  • Completed sequence (saw clips 1→3 or visited MOF page + clicked BOF) → send case study + calendar and alert AE with account/domain.

  • Drop-off after TOF → resend MOF clip variant; after MOF no click → show BOF with social proof.

  • Exec-domain visitor on MOF page → invite to 15-min exec briefing.
